| Re: WTF said by kapil :If you own eBay stock, dump it now, because that company has already seen its best days! the only reason they bought it was for the users.
my buddy got hired at ebay and during his orientation someone asked why they bought skype since it seems to have nothing to do with anything ebay has business with.
appearently, the reason why they bought them was solely for the users. appearently only 5% of skype users use ebay and vice versa.
that means that 95% of skype users are not using ebay and are potential customers.
it's all about marketing.
fyi: ebay ain't stupid, on average they earn 10% of the final cost of all their auctions (between ebay and paypal fees)
pretty good if you ask me. -- Name another North American suburb of over 165 000 people which STILL doesn't have a CO close enough for many to get DSL! (ITS NOW AVAIL AFTER 5 YEARS OF WAITING!) |
